An accurate LEGO Millennium Falcon statue you’ll love building
The Millennium Falcon in this set features the same distinctive shape we’ve come to associate with Han Solo’s trusty vehicle. Still, its reduced scale makes it a much smaller, more suitable decorative item for your office or living room. The completed model rests atop a unique base that angles the ship upward, as if it is taking off into space, making it more of a centerpiece for your home than a toy you would keep on a shelf or desk.
In terms of authentic details, the model features the Millennium Falcon’s characteristic cockpit, cannons, satellite dish, and large rear engines from Star Wars: A New Hope. You can see how the designers used the mid-scale format to simplify the hull plating, mandibles, and top features while maintaining the overall appearance. Unlike many other LEGO builds, the Millennium Falcon does not have extensive interior areas where you can play with mini-figures; it focuses on the textures and curves of the ship’s hull. That makes it more visually interesting, especially once you take the time to study it up close.
Unlike a typical LEGO base plate, the included display lets you turn the model at a dramatic angle when it’s done. In addition to the base plate, the stand comes with a printed nameplate for the Millennium Falcon and a special LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary brick commemorating the 25th anniversary of the release of the first Star Wars film.
The stand includes a mechanism that secures the model to the stand, preventing it from tipping over when placed on a shelf or table. The completed model measures approximately 5 inches tall by 9.5 inches long and 7.5 inches wide, providing enough mass to create a significant presence in your home while still small enough to fit on a bookshelf or media unit easily.
If you’ve been looking for a version of the Millennium Falcon that can fit comfortably within a display collection without the space requirements of a full-sized flagship model, don’t hesitate to jump on this deal.
